ASHLEA COURT CARE HOME REFURBISHMENT
The Care Team at Ashlea Court is planning a new refurbishment of the Care Home which will make an impact from the minute you arrive.
We are planning to remove our current awning and upgrade the area with a new entrance and tiled apex roof leading into a new welcome and reception area. This major change is just the start of the refurbishment programme which will redesign a number of rooms and spaces in the home including:
• External Welcome Area
• Main Reception
• Corridors
• Main Lounge & Dining Area – Ground & First Floor
• Lounge and Dining Areas – First Floor
• Quiet Lounge – First Floor
• Snack Bar and Day Room
• Hairdressing & Beauty Salon
We are also looking to update our main corridor areas in restful shades of grey with different colours accenting the main features and easily identifying important individual parts such as doors and corridors, with colours highlighting the handrails for visual clarity for our residents. A new blue carpet finishes off the completed look for access to our main room and resident bedrooms.
Library, Lounge & Dining Areas
(Ground & First Floor)
There are new designs for the library, lounge and dining room on both the ground floor and first floor areas which will feature a kitchen area set up for ease of access and making refreshments. There’s nothing nicer than having a cuppa, and at Ashlea Court we’ve ensured this is easily accessible by our care team to make those teas and coffees on the spot when a little care and a chat is needed. The colours in the rooms include greys, navy and peaches with a mix of fabrics and textures to bring out the key features in the room and to make the areas distinctive and easily identifiable, in particular for our residents who have dementia.
The library will house those much read favourite magazines and books, and with our high back chairs and conveniently placed tables this room will be perfect for lounging, having some restful reading time or enjoying your lunch or dinner in the dining area. The aim is to make the look very much a home from home with contrasting and interesting items making the room cosy, warm and approachable for residents.
Hairdressing Salon
The refurbishment will also include Ashlea Court’s very own hairdressing salon, decorated sympathetically with large comfortable chairs and both front and back wash sinks to ensure the comfort and preferences of our residents are well provided for. The room will have large mirrors and great lighting and the walls decorated with prints and images, setting the scene for both our male and female residents who might be looking for a haircut, a “wee tidy up”, or a cut and blow dry for those who just love having their hair done a couple of times a week. We also have options for having manicures and nails done on a regular basis.
Keeping our residents appearance the way they like it is an important part of what we do: ensuring we can offer a bit of “me time” at Ashlea Court.
Bar & Day Room
The Bar area is set out with a bar, kitchen and refreshment facilities and is the perfect place where residents and families can grab a cuppa and enjoy a natter together over tea and biscuits. Our Chef always ensures that home baking is available daily – it’s one of the treats that we all look forward to.
Next Stages:
Our home refurbishment plan has been in place to upgrade our facilities for greater and comfort and care for our residents since March 2020 but due to the global pandemic, this was unfortunately delayed. Our priority has been the health, safety and well-being of our residents and staff during this crisis, however, we are excited to be able to share with you some *images of how our home will look once the refurbishment is complete. Ashlea Court is already a very comfortable and much-loved home by our residents and family but with this new refurbishment we are going to look fantastic and we can’t wait to see the finished result!
